These unique qualities of Bioworx INTESTICOL promote an optimally functioning digestive system by supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria and the inhibition of Candida albicans. This allows for the correction of the digestive microbial imbalance and the relief of related digestive disorders
Candida albicans lives naturally in the gastrointestinal tract. Their main function:
To assist in the disposal of putrefied food in the digestive tract.
Candida albicans is kept in check by the beneficial bacteria in the body. If this balance is disturbed, it causes Candida albicans to overgrow, forming large colonies.
Disturbances of the microbial balance are caused by the following:
- stress
- antibiotics
- anti-inflammatory drugs
- painkillers
- chlorine and sodium fluoride in drinking water
- alcohol
- birth control pills
Pharmacological action
Brevibacillus laterosporus and Bacillus coagulans competes with pathogenic organisms for enteric sites and nutrients within the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract, thereby inhibiting them from becoming dominant by multiplying and establishing themselves and that enables the resident flora to flourish.
Beta-Glucan stimulates the immune response by activating the white blood cells known as neutrophils and macrophages, which kill and ingest bacteria and foreign cells.
Psyllium Husk is a fibre that has a massaging effect on the intestinal walls.
This effect helps to maintain the strength and contraction capacity of the intestinal muscles, ensuring that waste substances are transported easily through the intestines.
Gum Arabic is a soluble dietary fibre that boosts the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and helps to normalise bowel function. It also slows down colonic fermentation which decreases gas and bloating, soothes irritated mucous membranes, and relieves the sense of hunger.
Fennel Seed is a herb that stimulates digestion and alleviates flatulence, gas and bloating, nausea and acts as an appetite suppressant.
- It can be transported and stored at room temperature without losing its effectiveness
- It reaches the small intestine and colon intact without being compromised by high bile salts and acidic conditions in the digestive system
